And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. - John 6:35
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you - John 6:53
So giving ones life in order for someone else to live is not evil according to your own statement.
Jesus says he takes the world's sins on himself so that we may be saved. That's scapegoating. Putting your sins on someone else so you can avoid the punishment.
Scapegoating is assigning blame to one that's innocent, the bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ is blameless, but he of his own choosing accepted the penalty of sin which was death, no one assigned to or accused him of any sin, he could have chosen not to do it, THAT is not scapegoating.
His death was needed in order for us to live, just like the food you eat needs to die in order for you to live.
